gg ridge not working on 4.4.2 and showing the following error Error in "ggridges::geom_density_ridges(): ! Problem while computing aesthetics. :information_source: Error occurred in the 1st layer. Caused by error: ! object 'value' not found" while its perfectly working with 4.3.y versions is there any way that it could work with current version or should I install the older version of R

Can you check if this example works for you:

library(ggplot2)
library(ggridges)

ggplot(iris, aes(x = Sepal.Length, y = Species)) +
  geom_density_ridges(rel_min_height = 0.005) +
  scale_y_discrete(expand = c(0.01, 0)) +
  scale_x_continuous(expand = c(0.01, 0)) +
  theme_ridges()

Created on 2024-12-10 with reprex v2.1.0

This is the example from ?geom_density_ridges and it works for me on R 4.4.0. Can you share a minimal reproducible example that gives you this error?

that just means you don't have a variable called value
